Excellent stay in Amsterdam would highly recommend!
Pros:

We were in a medium sized room on the first floor. Room was perfect for what we needed, clean spacious and the hotels location in the Jordan canals district so beautiful, quiet and central so we were able to walk everywhere really. Will definitely be back!

Cons:

We were ok but if you have any issues with stairs ensure you book on the bottom floor as the stairs are quite steep :)

Nice hotel
Pros:

It was a pleasant stay . Staff were exceptional. Hotel in an ideal are.
On check out day we had planned a long lie but unfortunately there was major work being done on the room next to us . Stated at 8.25am.
We couldn’t sleep through the noise .
They were most apologetic and didn’t charge us for the drinks we had the night before for our inconvenience.

Pros:

The location and staff are great. The rooms have a certain character making it an experience (given you choose the canal side).

Cons:

Price value overall does not seem to match. The room despite heating was quite cold. The room and bathroom are tight but have a certain charm. The breakfast is quite minimalistic. Good you don't have to head out but honestly not much else going for it. Overall a good experience but Worth shopping around as you find sth similar for less.

Perfect stay in Amsterdam
Pros:

The Max Brown Hotel Canal District is a perfect hotel for couples or anyone visiting Amsterdam. It is situated in close proximity to the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam city centre and to the historic Anne Frank House. We stayed in a small double room which was the perfect size for a couple spending the majority of the day on the go. The room was consistently clean and the hotel was filled with luxurious amenities, including hygiene products from Zenology. Giving the oldness of the building, it was quite nosy and anyone using the staircase or closing doors on the level of your bedroom could be heard. You could also hear external noise from our room however it added to the experience of being Amsterdam.

HUGE SHOUTOUT to Ebony who was the member of staff who was working during the majority of our stay. Ebony was the loveliest, kindest and most down to earth person. Ebony provided us with great recommendations for sightseeing and restaurants, excellent customer service and was able to any questions we had. Ebony was a delight to have communicated with and met, making our stay even better.

I recommend the Max Brown Hotel Canal District to everyone.

Un hotel muy bien ubicado

Está bien ubicado, lo único tiene una experiencia “muy Amsterdam” con escaleras larguísimas 😂 pero bien cómodo.

Cons:

Las habitaciones son un poco pequeñas, la ducha un poco incómoda.
